JulmaI only spent an evening here but it was great! Everything was clean and well organized and I enjoyed my stay! Shops and pubs within walking distance and easy to navigate. Would definitely stay here again!

LisaVery good accommodation I stayed in the room with a private bathroom which was very good. Nice free breakfast and easy walk to transport links.

IsaakVery nice bunks and bathrooms, unique place with very helpful staff and good security.
Verified travelerDisappointing - lack of facilities and storage
I hate leaving bad reviews, especially when I think the intentions are good, but .... it seems that they have upgraded the hostel without actually testing it out. And there is so much that doesn't work.

Questions about Gardiner House Hostel
What time is check-in and check-out at Gardiner House Hostel?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Gardiner House Hostel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Gardiner House Hostel?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Does Gardiner House Hostel have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Does Gardiner House Hostel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Gardiner House Hostel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Gardiner House Hostel?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Gardiner House Hostel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
